Q . WHAT IS SHELL AVIATION ’ S OVERALL APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY ?

» In 2022 ICAO adopted an aspirational goal for the aviation industry to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 .

The aviation industry will need to use all available solutions and measures to decarbonise – no single solution will be enough on its own . These measures include : reducing fuel consumption through operational efficiencies , scaling the use of sustainable aviation fuel ( SAF ), developing electric and hydrogenpowered aircraft , and , finally , using carbon credits to offset emissions from travel where there are no other solutions .
